Twelve people were arrested in the Mission District while celebrating the 49ers' win Sunday, police said.

Fans waved team flags in the streets, honked horns and shouted out windows in the Mission after the Niners defeated the Atlanta Falcons to make the Super Bowl for the first time in 18 years.

Nine revelers were arrested for being drunk in public and one for driving under the influence, police spokesman Officer Gordon Shyy said Monday.

Another celebrator was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, and one was arrested on an outstanding warrant, police said. Authorities did not give details.

The Mission District saw similar celebrations after the Giants won the World Series in October. Those celebrations turned destructive, with fans lighting garbage fires in the streets and throwing bottles at police.

Officers arrested more than 30 people in those disturbances, and the district attorney's office filed charges against 12.
